Black Tie

Happy Saturday! Last Saturday, I attended the Heart of Hearts Gala for the American Heart Association. It was a who's who of San Antonio and charitable giving. I was immediately drawn to the event, since I have a personal connection to the cause. My grandfather on my father's side suffered from an enlarged heart which eventually lead to his passing. He literally had a huge heart and was beloved by so many, from our big family to his community. I've been involved with the Heart Association raising money and awareness since he passed away and this was such a wonderful opportunity to honor him in a grand way. The event was held at the Omni Hotel at Colonnade and it was beautiful. I was so honored to be invited to sit at the Style Lush TV table, which was ultra glam, champagne and all! It was great to hear some of the stories and connect with them on a personal level; they are such a wonderful group of fashionable people. I'm glad they hosted this event with the Omni Hotel. Heart disease is the #1 (silent) killer in America, raising awareness and money to help those afflicted with the illness is crucial to eradicating it.
